The reigning T20I World Champions, West Indies are back in action later this month against New Zealand. Although the New Zealanders will be the hot favourites, especially in home conditions, you can only expect the unexpected from the Windies, who have carved a reputation for the unthinkable in this format. While the West Indies boast of a stellar batting unit consisting of Kieron Pollard, Shimron Hetmyer and Nicholas Pooran, their bowling unit is still a cause for concern. Or is it? Their lead pacer, Sheldon Cottrell is back in action for them with the left-arm pacer having a decent year or so since his return to the side. He has been a consistent performer for WI and even starred in the ICC Cricket World Cup in England. Despite coming into this tour on the back of a rather disappointing IPL stint, Cottrell is definitely one to look out for in this much-awaited series between NZ and WI. Walking along the same lines, we analyse why Cottrell is so highly-rated and why he could be the value-for-money addition to your Real Market portfolio!62% of Cottrell's T20I match scores since ICC WC 2019 read 50 or more!Sheldon Cottrell has been the driving force behind West Indies' resurgent bowling attack over the last year or so. As previously mentioned, the Windies are well-equipped in the batting unit, and it is actually their bowling attack that has depreciated in quality since the retirement of Samuel Badree and the absence of Narine in the T20 set-up. However, Sheldon Cottrell has gone some way into alleviating those fears with consistent performances with the ball in hand. Since the completion of the World Cup, Cottrell has played in 13 matches while picking 14 wickets in spin-friendly wickets. Nevertheless, Cottrell was able to notch up a match score average of 56.88, which is exemplary given the pitches and the oppositions. To throw light on his performances, 62% of his match scores were above 50, giving an indication of his consistency. He reserved his best for the Indians, both home and away, with his highest match score of 92.07 coming against Virat Kohli and co! By the look of things, Cottrell seems to be the best bowling bet. But fantasy shareholders might be a touch worried about his recent CPL and IPL form.Although he started the IPL season with two 50+ match scores, Cottrell's match score average dropped off to 45.29 which saw his fantasy stock price dip by a considerable margin to 43.50 Sixer Coins per Share! While this was a loss to a few fantasy shareholders, this also opens up an opportunity for new users. With the left-arm pacer expected to feature heavily in the build-up to the next T20 World Cup, there will be no dearth of action for Cottrell and his fantasy shareholders. His ability to generate pace and bounce regardless of the pitch conditions should make hold him in good stead. While the search for bargain buys is always on in the Sixer Market, you wouldn't want to miss out on Cottrell's fantasy shares that are currently trading at a reasonable price of 43.50 Sixer Coins per Share!Joseph, King or Williams?
